Abandoned railroad right-of-ways and many logging roads provide an extensive trail system for hiking and biking, and in the winter, snowmobiling.

Established in 1892, Arbor Vitae is home to a variety of dining and lodging opportunities from camping and lakeside cabins to a corporate retreat on beautiful Trout Lake. restaurants boast a colorful history dating back to prohibition, each one famous for its house specialties.

Big and Little Arbor Vitae Lakes offer abundant fishing opportunities all year long. Here you will find Class A musky and walleye lakes with amazing bass fishing too! Don’t want to catch those “big ones?” Try your hand at pan fishing. in addition, snowmobile trails run throughout Arbor Vitae making it convenient for getting around.

For those who want to get out on the greens, area golf courses offer even the most avid golfer real challenges. The wilderness wonderland is here in Arbor Vitae and can be seen from many perspectives.
